Toddler talks (guidelines and some heath issues)

Toddler’s talk is a cute way by which a kid communicates; we cannot ignore this seriously. Well, today I have brought this topic with few concerned and real facts about toddler talks; so all parents come with me and let us know something important regarding your toddler talks.

I hope you have a naughty toddler in your home and your life is not much boring now. These kids are such exploring that always wants something new. No matter if they can approach a thing or not they will try anyhow!

According to the specialists, toddler age starts from one year to three years. Within this age, a kid gets a lot of his body and mental development. You cannot ignore a toddler if he needs your attention.

My toddler:

In this age, a kid starts talking and quite understands your command. Also, you can notify any disability order in the toddler age. I have my two-year boy; he is highly intensive with me and my husband. He always wants to have something interesting to do.

After completing two years, now my baby starts talking very little. Often we can understand what he wants to clarify whether sometimes we can’t get what he actually wants to say. At this age, he is getting so cute and naughty.

A few weeks ago I was sitting on the sofa; my boy cheeringly came up and said “MUMMA” I got quite shocked and then relaxed. Thank God that finally, he said something. Today he can say a few short sentences even. It is not a miracle but all my handwork that I did. Usually, the baby starts talks within 15 to 18 months. Imagine how much you will be happy if your two-year kids start talks.

Anyways, I have specially selected this topic because of two of my elder daughters. Both were also late talkers and my little champ is being similar to sisters. If your kid also looks like that don’t you worry! Here I have shared all my experience and things that should be considered.

Toddler talks disorder:

According to a survey, 8% of American children are suffering from a communication disorder. Do you know that this disorder can be treated in a fine way? Absolutely yes, speech therapy is one great and effective that can teach your child to talk well.

Speech therapy is all about practice and the intention that you give to your kid. Try to teach your toddler some real sounds correctly and you may take a slow start as a little developmental brain can get your point.

Try to get my point mummies! You have great power and influence I know, so you can easily increase toddler’s speech power. After al it is all about patience and practice; if you will do it then surely your toddler will talk fluently.

Speech problem and its causes:

A kid can have to talk about trouble and making initial sounds. This sort of sounds can make him irritate to communicate with others. People do not get a kid’s point due he may lose his confidence. These are fundamental issues of speech that rarely kids face and undoubtedly these could be early signs of learning disability also.

Speech problem and its causes:

Causes:

Lack of brain development and working could be a serious cause of speech/language problems in children.
Hearing loss is also the main cause due to a kid cannot speak well. It is absolutely a usual fact that if you cannot listen well that how could you respond it back? Make a hypothesis if your toddler is not responding to you well then you should consult with an E.N.T doctor.
Often high environmental deprivations also may be the cause of delay speech. Meanwhile, if you realize that if a child is not speaking /responding well then it is the possibility of his/her negligence by others.
Premature babies mostly face delay developments such as sitting, walking, running and talking. However, if your toddler was a premature baby (he/she was born before the normal date) then you can have some talking troubles. Don’t you worry about time to time he will recover all?
The auditory disorder is one kind of health concerning issues in which we cannot say some clear words. This problem is treatable though if your kid not makes some sounds clearly then you have to meet a speaking therapist.’
A few serious health issues (Neurological problems) could be the cause of delay talks, including traumatic brain injury, muscular dystrophy, and cerebral palsy. In these problems muscles get affected so, you cannot speak clearly then.
Nervousness is such a common cause in which a child cannot speak a single word and that is called selective mutism. This is a natural condition so; you don’t have to be worried anyway!

Some encouraging ideas toddler talks:

The more you will be intentioned, the more your child will expose words. Let me share some mine tested ideas that can encourage your toddler to talk.

Whatever you do at your home make him/her knows and let him take with you to do that. For example, say him, it is time to hang some clothes on the rope come on let’s do it!

Give Response to your child when he does anything, especially as if he plays with a car then asks him where you are going.

Rhyming is such a wonderful idea that is working for many centuries. Introducing nursery rhymes to your toddler will surely encourage him to repeat.

Train with a smile and let a toddler learn short words in the starting. You cannot make him insist to say longer sentences.

Whenever toddlers say a single word then make him encourage and never ignore. This way the late talker will not get much interest in talking so!

You may use body parts name as short words in the starting. Say EYES and repeat it again till your toddler say it clearly. Again I would like to say to keep patience for your toddler talks.
